There are 10 teams in this session and I viewed 5 local teams in AZ Compass Prep, Bella Vista Prep, Dream City Christian, Phhoenix Prep and Phhoenix Prep Blue.
There are 5 other teams in the Bubble with Veritas Prep (CA), Prolific Prep (CA), West Oaks (FL), US Basketball (OR) and one other local team I will see Nov 11th in Eduprize.
Here were the last group of the senior standouts I viewed:
Simon Wheeler Simon Wheeler 5'8" | PG Phhoenix Prep Post Grad | 2022 State AZ Bella Vista Prep
-The engine that gets Bella Vista going. He is a blur in the open court and can drive and kick it out to open shooters. He can make the deep 3 but is best getting to the cup and scoring or getting fouled. He is quick on the ball defensively.
Isaiah Shaw Isaiah Shaw 6'6" | SF Phhoenix Prep | 2021 State AZ Phhoenix Prep (Pictured)
-A lefty sharp shooter came up big. He seems to be almost automatic when he is in a rhythm. He has a quick trigger and the Grand Canyon commit is a smart passer and he can score it inside as well with good footwork.
Keeshawn Mason Keeshawn Mason 6'8" | PF Bella Vista Prep | 2021 State AZ Bella Vista Prep
-A long and thick power forward has a high motor to rebound the ball using his length, strength and will to corral the ball. He has a drop step move to score with his back to the basket plus he can shoot it with pretty form off the catch from the 3pt line. Mason just received his 1st D1 offer last week, which was well earned.
Ricardo Sarmiento Ricardo Sarmiento 5'11" | PG Phhoenix Prep | 2021 State AZ Phhoenix Prep
-A tough and fearless defender on the ball had a very good game off the bench. He dominated during one stretch of the game with his 3-pt shot, the floater game and his per usual jumper. He also threw multiple dimes to cutters and drove and kicked it out to shooters. His energy he bought extended the Fire’s lead.
Jake TenBerge Jake TenBerge 6'6" | SG Phhoenix Prep | 2022 State AZ Phh Prep & Phh Prep Blue
-The sharp shooting forward did just that. He rattled off four 3’s and he loves the short corner. He has a pretty shooting stroke with good form. He rebounds well in his area and he can do the 1-2 dribble pull-up with no fear. He made some key 3’s to keep it close before the loaded Prolific Prep pulled away late.
Aisaiah Phillips Aisaiah Phillips 6'0" | CG Bella Vista Prep | 2021 State AZ Bella Vista Prep
-A stronger combo-guard from NYC is a natural scorer. He can pull-up from the 3pt line and make some plays for teammates. He has a knack for getting to the FT line and will be a nice spark off the bench all year on the Grind Session.
